Where is the clutch in an automatic transmission?
1 Answers
In an automatic transmission, the clutch is located within the gearbox, and gear changes are performed automatically. Only manual transmission cars have a clutch pedal, while automatic transmissions do not. Typically, the clutch is controlled by the vehicle's onboard computer. Here is additional information: 1. How the automatic clutch works: The independent system that achieves automatic control of clutch separation and engagement primarily consists of mechanical, electronic, and hydraulic components, including gear position sensors, wiring harnesses, display and voice units, clutch drive mechanisms, and control computers. This design is mainly aimed at manual transmission models and does not alter the original vehicle structure during installation. The computer control system determines the vehicle's state and the driver's intent, simulating the best driving techniques to control the clutch drive mechanism with optimal speed and timing, ensuring quick separation and smooth engagement of the clutch. This results in comfortable and seamless starts and gear shifts while preventing stalling and unnecessary fuel consumption. 2. Purpose: The system guides drivers with voice prompts for correct operation, maintaining the fun of driving a manual transmission while reducing driving fatigue and lowering vehicle fuel consumption, ultimately aiming to protect the engine.
